I'll be honest I really have no knowledge of her besides hearing her name a few times. Looked up her up and the stats don't seem all too impressive. Best finish I saw was a 4th in an ARCA race. Was she in good equipment?
 
I hope I'm wrong but I fear people will be calling her Danica 3.0.
Again I hope she proves different and wins in the trucks.
 
I hope she she does well and doesn’t have too many clowns gunning for her.

I also wish she was not the single female driver for everyone to fixate on.

I wonder if the 5 will be sponsored by Victoria secret like her ARCA ride was. That should be interesting.
 
I’ll be disappointed if that happens not because they can’t sponsor but because it’ll be a pretty big distraction and make it less likely the focus will be on her racing. If we had 5 women all driving trucks the impact would be different but we all know how it will play out if it’s just her. No young driver needs that distraction…even if the NASCAR reality is take the money wherever you can. Oh well hope it works out well for her however it goes.
 
If she is successful, good for her. If not, there is no shame or need to be overly critical or go on some white knight crusade.

Racing is tough, and the competition is a bunch of possessed freaks, or at least they should be if they want to be worthy enough to call themselves racers. It is almost guaranteed to be a frustrating experience for anyone involved (male or female)

I wish people were less hung up on the drivers gender, I don't think it is a deciding factor. It is factor in creating opportunities, and that condition should continue to improve for females, but you still have to good enough to make the opportunities work.

My thoughts may seem redundant, but I believe the best drivers have some type of sixth sense or innate talent that gives them the ability to consistently be fast. They still must be dedicated enough to work hard and develop it, but I still think a lot of natural talent is a prerequisite for anyone to ever become one of the few elites.

One day, a woman will make it in cup racing, as in winning races and competing to win the championship.
There is power in numbers, and it is unlikely to materialize with just a few females running in the three top divisions. It may be beyond my lifetime, but one day there will be at least half a dozen females competing in the Cup series. The pool will continue to grow, and eventually, one of them will have the exceptional talent to become one of the elites.

But it's still a long road ahead, and I wouldn't look for it to happen in the next generation or two.
 
I've known about her for a few years, she had some good runs in ARCA. That said, she also struggled at times and didn't last much in her Truck debut at Daytona.

The Deegan comparisons are inevitable. I thought Deegan was respectable in her rides. When Deegan lost her seat, the Cup regulars got more out of that car and some people put the blame on her for not getting the most out of her equipment. Like, how can you compare her to guys like Joey Logano? Ridiculous.

Anyway, Breidinger is talented and has plenty of experience. I expect some struggles, but a good run here and there wouldn't surprise me.
 
I am rooting for women to find success in NASCAR similar to what we’ve seen emerge over these years in drag racing. Two different types of racing for sure, but I’m confident there will be Cup race winners eventually. I don’t think the barriers are there that once existed. Deegan was being cheered on by sponsors who gladly gave her support, until she wasn’t able to demonstrate ability to run well or up front. Can Breidinger take that step? Have no idea, but to date her record doesn’t warrant confidence.

Like I said earlier I don't really know much about her. My only hesitation is that when I googled her it says race car driver and model and her stats in the car aren't all that impressive.

Hopefully she breaks through and becomes successful, but I'm so sick of model/drivers.

Impressive for sure.

Do you have the name and date of the race? I would like to find a you tube of the event.

It was the Pro Late Model division event at The Fall Brawl at Hickory on November 9. Nothing on YouTube or Flo.

You can see the desire I’m talking about in this clip from the BC39 at Indy this year. Mobil 1 #71. Best I can do.

 
I saw both Toni and Hailee Deegan race coming up. Always thought Deegan was the more talented of the two.

Obviously things didn’t work out for Deegan. Good for Toni getting a shot but I don’t see things going any better for her.
 
If the wimmins want to model lingerie, swimsuits, etc. I will be more than happy to sign off on NASCAR giving them a waiver.

She's not very talented. I've watched her and tbh she will be a backmarker unless she makes a complete 180. Money cant buy talent

Interesting... Is it just the "modeling" profession that gets you or just that the drivers do something other than racing.
Is it annoying being a web developer and a driver, a publicist and a driver, an actress and a driver, or a promoter and a driver?

Pretty much a women and a driver around here.
 
Sometimes people put up posts that expose themselves and tell us who they are.

Happened right here about 2 hours and 20 or so minutes ago.

Thanks @aunty dive for putting this up. I'll say one thing, she ain't bashful about mixing it up. Pretty impressive. And as far as her Modeling well, she has the equipment to do that as well. Don't blame her a bit and I don't care what she does with her free time.

@DanicaFreak , get off the Arab crap. Has nothing to do with anything.

This is what annoys me. Be a model or be a driver

I don't know what a Truck series rookie makes but I expect an ARCA driver needs a second income to make ends meet. I questioned Deegan's ability to juggle driving with her social media presence. Modeling involves much less distraction than maintaining multiple content feeds.

Plenty of wannabes have to work other jobs during the week. What if her other gig was teaching, or growing melons, or repairing cars? It isn't a question of what the second job is. The question is, can the aspiring driver juggle both without detracting from the on-track efforts? Time will tell.
